Amy Yaremko & Kaitlyn Zhu
"At 5 years old my baseball journey began at South Burnaby Baseball and I have been playing ever since. I have been proud to play for South Burnaby in Spring leagues, tournaments and numerous summer select teams and provincial tournaments over the years, and the last couple years I’ve been helping to coach the younger players as well. I have also loved being a part of the Baseball BC Girls program for the past four or five years. This amazing program has given me the opportunity to train with other girls, travel, and play against other girls’ teams in Western Canadian Championship Tournaments. I am looking forward to be a part of the coaching experience as well as the development of girls baseball." - Amy Yaremko
Rachel Tam
"I started playing baseball when I was 5 years old. I wanted to play because I grew up watching my older brother’s baseball games. After that I fell immediately fell in love with it. I met so many amazing people along the way and have met some of my best friends through baseball." - Rachel
Vanessa McKinley
I started playing baseball at 10 years old with the Burnaby Braves. I wanted to join a team because I had so much fun playing with my friends from school. I have played in Burnaby for most of my life. It is so exiting to see the kids learn to play baseball at the same field I started at.
